Participant inclusion

Youth 2030 Movement

”They say they want to know our opinion, but then they don't listen to what we say.”

Young people want to be involved, to express their opinions and to be involved in deciding on matters that affect them. At the same time, many young people around the country feel that this is not possible, and there is disappointment with an adult world that repeatedly raises expectations and hopes of listening to young people's voices but then fails to deliver.

Adults want to take on board young people's views and create empowerment processes, yet there are difficulties in our structures and organisations to do this properly.
In this training session, we will talk about what participant inclusion can look like, why we need to work on it and how we can actually get there.

We will go through what it means in practice and in a systematic way to include, involve, and create participation. We will start from a child and youth perspective, but all tools and perspectives can be used to create better conditions for participatory inclusion for all.
